Our Mission
Our mission is to offer unparalleled, high-end ecotourism experiences that seamlessly blend luxury and sustainability. We are dedicated to providing our guests with elegant and comfortable glamping accommodations in Ecuador’s most breathtaking natural settings. By working hand-in-hand with local indigenous communities, we create a mutually beneficial relationship that supports their livelihoods, celebrates their cultural heritage, and empowers them to become guardians of their own natural environment. Through this model, we ensure that your unforgettable journey helps protect the very places you came to explore.
Our Vision
We envision a future where high-end travel and ecological conservation are not separate concepts but are intrinsically linked. Our vision is to be the leading provider of luxury glamping experiences in Ecuador, setting the standard for sustainable tourism in Latin America. We aspire to expand our unique, low-impact glamping sites, creating a network of destinations that inspire a deeper respect for the planet. Ultimately, our goal is to show that it is possible to offer a five-star service while leaving a minimal footprint, fostering a global community of travelers who are as passionate about preserving our world as we are.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
At Arajuno River Amazon Glamping, our dedication to sustainability is the foundation of everything we do. We understand that true luxury lies not just in comfort and service, but in a profound respect for the planet and its people. Our business model is built on a collaborative partnership with local indigenous communities, recognizing that their traditional wisdom and stewardship are crucial for the preservation of their environment and the future of the unique ecosystems we operate in.
We go beyond simple ecotourism; we are committed to working directly with these communities to implement and support projects that address their most pressing needs. Your stay with us is more than a vacation—it is a direct contribution to these vital initiatives. A portion of our proceeds is dedicated to funding programs focused on health and education, helping to build a more secure and prosperous future for our partners. Furthermore, our commitment extends to the preservation of culture and traditions.
We believe that by celebrating and sharing the rich heritage of indigenous communities, we can help ensure their traditions are passed down to future generations. Your experience with us is designed to be an authentic cultural exchange, offering you an opportunity to learn from and connect with the very people who are the guardians of these lands.
By choosing Us, you are not just enjoying a pristine natural environment; you are actively participating in a cycle of sustainable development. You are helping to empower indigenous communities to protect their territories, preserve their ancestral knowledge, and thrive. This is the essence of our philosophy: that a truly luxurious escape should leave a positive and lasting legacy, creating a connection that benefits everyone involved and ensures the incredible beauty of Ecuador endures for generations to come.
Supporting the Local Kichwa School
When you book a package that includes a stay at the Arajuno River Glamping, your journey becomes a powerful force for positive change in the Ecuadorian Amazon. You aren't just securing accommodation; you are directly investing in the future of the local Kichwa community.
We are proud to support the Kichwa Community School by funding and maintaining a dedicated Computer Center. We fundamentally believe that education is the most effective tool for conservation and self-determination. By providing the local children with access to modern technology and professional training, we are equipping them with the skills necessary to thrive in the 21st century.
This initiative is driven by a vision for the future: that these children will not only preserve their rich cultural heritage and ancestral knowledge but will also gain the professional background needed to actively protect their natural environment. Empowered with these skills, the younger generation can confidently pursue careers in sustainable eco-tourism, manage local resources responsibly, and secure economic growth in a sustainable manner. This vital, long-term support helps the community resist the immediate, destructive economic pressures of mining and deforestation, ensuring the pristine Amazon rainforest along the Arajuno River remains intact for generations to come. Your booking directly translates into educational opportunity and environmental stewardship.

Location
Our exclusive glamping retreat is nestled deep within the Napo Province of the Ecuadorian Amazon, situated right on the banks of the serene Arajuno River.

Beyond the natural wonders, the site offers genuine cultural connection, lying close to the Santa Barbara Kichwa Community.
